West Ham will look to tempt Barcelona into loaning them youngster Alen Halilovic for the upcoming season according to the Daily Star.
The 19-year-old Croatian international moved to the Nou Camp last summer and struggled to force his way into Luis Enrique’s first team squad and could be sent out for some much needed top tier experience.
Upton Park boss Slaven Bilic, who handed the teenager his national team debut when he was in charge of the Croatian national team, hopes his relationship with the attacking midfielder would aid a push to sign the Barcelona starlet.
